Hanging out, down the street

[JustStunned]

Gas line is installed and leak tested. Drain line is installed. I opted to use standard 1/2 inch black pipe for the gas line and 2 inch PVC for the drain. I am waiting to speak with S and DIL about the position of the supply lines. I may just reposition them anyway to save headaches in the future. It is a matter of how soon DIL wants to move her units in and if they can tolerate the water supply shutoff while I do so.

D was over Saturday night. She was accepted back into a nursing program and begins classes in a few weeks. This time the campus is on the other side of Cleveland. She is not happy with the commute, but her concern is tempered with being back in the program a year earlier than she had anticipated.

She told me X informed DIL what my income level is. I do not know why or in what context this information was exchanged. I am somewhat irritated that it was. Briefly I wondered if she told DIL what her spousal support is or how she lowered her income level prior to the D to increase it. That is a snarky path and it is best if I do not walk it.

I feel I deserve my salary. I work for it. I have worked to attain this position. I work to improve it. The path I took, the time and effort it requires/required is typical.

Hunting season is just around the corner. I have been target practicing for form since May. Now it is past time to get serious.

Last March I purchased a raffle ticket and won a Savage .17HMR right handed bolt action. I had little use for the rifle and opted for a store gift card instead. It became arrows, broad heads, new camo and a few other items. Like most recreational things bow hunting is an accessory heavy sport. I totaled the cost of the gear I wear/carry once and was astonished. Of course it should be amortized and the recreational value is difficult to place a value on. Think of it this way each arrow in my quiver represents an initial cost of about $25.00 and I wait for sales.
